Pueblo Airport Generating Station
BrownfieldPueblo, Pueblo, Colorado · Black Hills Service Company LLC
Pueblo Airport Generating Station is a natural gas plant in Pueblo, Pueblo, Colorado. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 100 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
